Vibras De Noche” released in 2020 and reached number one in the Latin charts at the time of its release. This album set the ground floor for the group and included many of their hit songs at the time. “Vibras De Noche,” overall as an album, did amazing not just on charts but also in the eyes of the fans and is a recommended listen to.
Eslabon Armado started out as Eslabon Efectivo in 2016 but later turned into Eslabon Armado. After the name change, Eslabon Armado consisted of 3 members, brothers Pedro Tovar and Brian Tovar, along with their friend Gabriel Hidalgo.
“Vibras De Noche” reflects the prior elements of the Musica Mexicana genre, including the old set ups on the bass to the old way the lead solos were styled. The album includes 14 tracks, 8 of which appeared in the Top 50 Hot Latin songs chart. It also helped Eslabon Armado secure their place in the genre. A year after its release, the album went platinum becoming the group’s second album to have gone platinum just behind their first studio album “Tu Veneno Mortal.”
The album included many different styles of music such as heart-breaking songs, sierreno or mixture of old and new generation elements in Hispanic music, corridos which is a ballad that tells stories about hardships Latins faced and love songs. Such as 24 Horas a desamor or Sad/Breakup song, “Tal Vez” being a romantico or love song and “Cali” being a corrido. This wide variety of styles was what made the album unique. It gave characters and different vibes for the listeners to feel. The feeling of different sounds and raw instrumentals just gave the album a feeling that could not be replicated by another artist.
With the release of a second part of the album, listeners get a lesser version of those raw feelings in lyrics and instrumentals from the first. While we still get the variety of genres from the second part, the feelings and instrumentals of the first album have changed due to the time and certain elements fading out of style. The Musica Mexicana genre and expectations for music have changed since 2020, while the styles have changed “Vibras De Noche” will still always remain a classic to older listeners. Although along with the release of the second part of the album came with an anticipated song, EL Algre which really brought back the feelings of the 2020 Musica Mexicana Genre and the first part of the album. Vibras De Noche II reflects the past elements of the first album along with following new trends in the genre to keep up but also brings back the nostalgic feeling for many listeners.
Vibras De Noche is a recommended album to listen to due to its strong variety of styles and unique lyrics and styles. Vibras De Noche will always be a classic to listen back to for the nostalgia of 2020. From the bass to the guitars and horns, Vibras De Noche has it all for any feeling or vibe.
